Guys in aussie do it using the A10 stanza Xmembers. although I beleive you can do it using a 610 Xmember.

Re: L series in a 120y
A 510 crossmember will do the same job, I reckon an L20 is a perfect power combo for a 120y.

Re: L series in a 120y
I did an A to L swap once, and I was extremely dissapointed at how slow it was. (Probably because it was still slower than my 1200)

Re: L series in a 120y
i was just wondering if it was possible and by the sounds it is with a mix and match of bits and pieces, if all fails on the 140J (does not meet compliance by something major real major) i could always get the L20B twin 40s and the 5speed in the 120y. its all good to know.
